I can see one without a heater element working well as a "defogger" to clear the inside of the window, but if the window was iced over, it would take a very long time to defrost an actual window.

I think the plan for me, is to move the heater element over to the good housing with the good motor. I will then wire the element and motor in series as opposed to parallel like originally connected. That should take care of the 12v-6V issue without having to use a step-down resistor. I'll mock this up on the work bench and let it run for awhile to make sure there are no issues with it.
